Review of The Dark Knight's Key Features

A serious 5-reel slot with a serious jackpot to match

Whether you think of Adam West, Christian Bale or even Ben Affleck as Batman, one thing never
changes in the world of The Dark Knight: the shadowy and dreary city of Gotham. With iconic
characters from the 2008 movie of the same name, this slot does a great job of capturing the
ambience of Gotham City.

One thing’s for sure – Microgaming knows how to make a great looking game, and The Dark Knight
slot machine is just that. With 243 ways to win and some huge jackpots to play for, its gameplay
is as attractive as its graphics. One area in which the game falls down a little is in its lower
RTP (88%), but that’s pretty typical for games with progressive prizes.

As dark and gloomy as a night in Gotham City!

Oh, and we mean that in the best possible way. The game’s graphics are shadowy and gritty, and
the sounds have come straight out of Christopher Nolan’s movie. Sounds just like a night in
Penguin’s Iceberg Lounge casino!

Alongside the standard A, K, Q, J and 10 – each of which has a little additional Bat-flair –
you’ll find symbols like Batman, The Joker and Inspector James Gordon. The whole thing looks
great and is undoubtedly a real treat for Batfans.

Free spins? Haha, joke’s on you!

15 free spins with a 2x multiplier isn’t too shabby, especially for a progressive game, and
you’ll actually be glad to catch sight of the notorious Joker’s symbols if it means that you’ll
be heading to one of these bonus rounds.

With a fairly high variance, you probably shouldn’t plan on breaking the bank in a typical Dark
Knight bonus round but you can reasonably expect to recover previous losses and add a bit of
extra cushion to your bankroll. But make no mistake: this game is all about its jackpots.

There’s also a nice additional bonus feature called Batman or Joker which is activated randomly
and offers one of the following: extra wilds, wild reels, bonus multipliers, random wins, held
reels or additional free spins. All of which is great for a bit of extra variety.

Holy jackpots, Batman!

With four progressive jackpots of varying sizes – Mega, Major, Minor and Mini – available, there’s
always an impressive figure to shoot for when you play The Dark Knight online slot. The Mega
jackpot’s minimum value of $1 million, regularly reaching $3 million or more, might even make
Bruce Wayne jealous!

The game’s fixed jackpot pales in comparison to this huge cash prize, with bonus rounds usually
representing the best way for players to recoup any losses and walk away with a little extra money
in their pocket. Then again, someone has to win those progressive jackpots – no reason why it
couldn’t be you!

Take a trip to Gotham, wherever you might be

If you’re looking for a huge progressive jackpot to chase while you’re on the move, you could
do a lot worse than to check out The Dark Knight. Review sites always like a good old traditional
bonus round of free spins, and you’ll want to make sure you allow enough time/bankroll to get to
it if you’re the sort of player who doesn’t like to call it quits until you’ve had some freebies.

On the lookout for The Dark Knight tips? Here’s one for you: the graphics of The Dark Knight are
dark (well, we guess the clue is in the name) at the best of times but they can be quite difficult
to see on a smaller screen unless you have your brightness turned way up. That’s not a major issue
though, and we’d still recommend this one provided you can find a mobile site/app that offers it.

A slot with serious POW factor, and that’s no joke.

It’s hard to believe that since this game’s launch the DC Cinematic Universe has already been
rebooted, with Ben Affleck taking over Batman’s cowl from Christian Bale. Regardless of how you
feel about Batfleck, we think every comics fan will enjoy this moody slot. That’s why our Dark
Knight online slot review is, overall, an extremely positive one.

The game’s lower payout percentage, when compared with many standard 5-reel slots, will undoubtedly
put some players off but it has to be expected for progressive games that boast a large jackpot.
As usual, that progressive jackpot also means you can’t try this game in free play mode so you may
want to stick with small bets until you get the game figured out.
